Schuyler Bailar, first trans athlete to compete on a NCAA Division 1 men's team, wants all trans athletes to feel represented

When Schuyler Bailar is in the water, he doesn't feel like himself.

Bailar, a former award-winning swimmer at Harvard University, said he doesn't feel anything when he's swimming. Instead, he has an out-of-body experience that sharpens his attention and helps him focus solely on his end goal. This ability helped him become one of the top high school swimmers in the country— but it also served as a welcome reprise, eventually helping him to find himself as an out and proud transgender man.  "When I'm swimming, I don't feel like I have to be a body or gender or really anything. I'm just the act of swimming," Bailar told CBS News. " There's this massive relief, this grounding combined with the weightlessness of being in water that's really beautiful."
